Authors of our lives

I watched a British show yesterday (Doc Martin). One of the characters said to the other in a moment of crisis that “We are the authors of our lives, it’s up to us to write it and if there’re areas where need to make some changes then we need to write those too.” It really hit home to me. In the next scene though that same person presented with the other’s solution, shot down his idea because it wasn’t thoroughly thought through. Not so good in my opinion, a good friend would have kindly suggested the other things that might help him construct his plan.

 

I’m trying to be the author of my life. It seems though I get swept up by my physicality and sex drive a lot. …perhaps a practice in process.

.....it will take time to get practiced with this outlook...

 

The wisdom also helped me see that we can breakdown elements in our lives and not have our choices be about the whole picture all but in particles

Or elements of it. And so move forward in increments.
